I’m much more knowledgeable writing about the living components of the ocean ecosystem than the non-living parts, but when my cousin came up for a visit last summer and showed me garnets in the rocks along the shore, my interest was sparked. He’s a retired geologist with a great depth of knowledge about rocks and an ability to explain it in a way that made it seem magical. While you don’t eat garnets in your food, you do consume many of the same minerals in your food that are found in the rocks along the seashore. ~ Susan Olcott
